Do the same thing like
0.2x+0.2=4
0.2x=4-0.2
0.2x=3.8
x=3.8/.2
x=19

For percent,
What is 8% of 54
8%=0.08
0.08 * 54
4.32 is the answer

Like that. I hope this is what you are looking for. I'm sorry if it isn't

If you had an equation such as 50%x=20, I would convert the percent to a decimal first. So, 0.50x=20. Then I would change the decimal into a simplified fraction. In this case it is 1/2. So, 1/2x=20. Then I would reciprocate the fraction and multiply that by 20. So x=20*2/1. From this, we would get x=40/1, but the 1 is not necessary, so we can write the final answer as x=40.

State a counterexample to the conjecture below if a number is divisible by 6 and 2 then there’s is divisible by 12

siniylev [52]

Any number that is divisible by 6 is already divisible by 2, but is not necessarily divisible by 12.

Counterexamples include: 6, 18, 30, 42, 54, and so on. You can find more by multiplying 6 by any odd number. However, multiplying 6 by an even number provides another "2" that would make it divisible by 12.
